This is a situation you don’t want to find yourself in.
Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino took to Instagram Saturday to reveal that his two-year-old son, Romeo, choked on a piece of pasta Thursday.
The “Jersey Shore” star shared Ring camera footage of the terrifying incident, showing how he and his wife, Lauren, saved the toddler’s life.
In the clip, Mike and Lauren can be seen sitting at their dinner table with Romeo and their daughter, Mia Bella, 1, when their son begins to struggle.
Mike, 41, and Lauren, 39, quickly jump into action and try to determine what’s wrong before dislodging the piece of food from their son’s mouth.
“THE SCARIEST MOMENT OF OUR LIVES ‼️ It was an ordinary dinner at the Situations when suddenly without notice Romeo started choking on his favorite pasta pesto gnocchi !! He hunched over and wasn’t breathing 😩,” Sorrentino wrote alongside the video.
Mike went on to say that he and Lauren did what they could to remain calm.
“I am so proud of how my wife and I didn’t panic, didn’t hesitate and eventually dislodged the food which was blocking airway and saved his life,” he continued.

Because of the terrifying incident, Mike plans to take CPR lessons. He also said he and Lauren are going to stop giving the two-year-old his favorite gnocchi for the time being.
Following the reveal, Mike’s “Jersey Shore” co-stars took to the comments section to react.
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi commented, “So scary! Poor Romeo! You guys are wonderful parents,” while Sammi Giancola wrote, “Omg my heart, so glad he’s okay! ❤️.”
Jenni “JWoww” Farley also said, “🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank goodness everything is okay.”
Mike and Lauren, who tied in November 2018, are currently expecting their third child together.
They announced the joyous news in September 2023 with a cute post that read, “Good things come in threes 🥹 Adding another pumpkin to our patch 🙏🏼 Baby #3 coming March 2024.”
They welcomed their first child, Romeo, in May of 2021 before Lauren gave birth to their second child, Mia Bella, less than two years later in January 2023.
